President Bola Tinubu has warned state governors to guard against things that could alter atmosphere of peace and good government in their respective states.
In an address to announce the end of emergency rule in Rivers state on Wednesday, the president charged that “I take this opportunity to remind the Governors and the Houses of Assembly of all the States of our country to continue to appreciate that it is only in an atmosphere of peace, order, and good government that we can deliver the dividends of democracy to our people. I implore all of you to let this realisation drive your actions at all times.
“As a stakeholder in democratic governance, I believe that the need for a harmonious existence and relationship between the executive and the legislature is key to a successful government, whether at the state or national level.
“The people who voted us into power expect to reap the fruits of democracy. However, that expectation will remain unrealizable in an atmosphere of violence, anarchy, and insecurity borne by misguided political activism and Machiavellian manipulations among the stakeholders.”
Governor Fubara, his deputy and members of the House of Assembly in Rivers state are expected to return to their duty posts on Thursday as the emergency rule ends at midnight on Wednesday.
